He regularly toured Germany with programmes of reading the work of various poets. In later years he was seen less on TV, which he explained with 'his search for a better quality of his roles'.
He was the German synchronization voice of, among others, Dean Stockwell in Paris, Texas and of Robert Taylor in Broadway Melody of 1936 and The Crowd Roars.
Between 1969 and 1973 he was a member of the theater companies in Oberhausen, Wuppertal and Basel. These were followed by work in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna and Zürich.
